Gone Horribly Right: As a failsafe, Jonathan gave Hikaru the ability to deal direct damage to a Great Old One in case Terminus ever betrayed him. S/he ends up defeating them both.

Hello, Insert Name Here: Played with; regardless of what Hikaru is referred to in game ("Subject Zero" being the most common handle), their name can still be customized (and their chosen first name can be seen in flavor text). Hikaru Kasane is just the default.

In-Series Nickname: In dialogue, the name "Subject Zero" is used, with "Zero" as a nickname.

Protagonist Without a Past: Subverted. They do have a past depending on origin chosen, but they don't find out the exact details until later. In each origin, a certain villain meddled with their lives and erased or altered their memories to conceal the deed.

Ultimate Life Form: Hikaru was created by Jonathan Knight as a prototype for one. Terminus intended to use him/her as a double-agent to pave the way for her path of destruction. Knight, in turn, gave him/her the ability to deal damage to a Great Old One directly.

Verbal Judo: Can defuse a bad situation with the right dialogue options.
